Her beautiful lips dropped piteously at

IMPORTED WOOL.

Discriminate In Dutiee Lessenin@ the
Imports from the Argentine Re pub
lie.
WASHINGTON, December 27.-Consul
Gaker, in his report to the Department of
State in regard to the wool production Of
the Argentine Republic, says the amount Of
wool shipped from there to the United
States annually is becoming less. The
cause Of this, he says, is in great part due
to the fact that the United States tariff
unintentionally, but very unjustly discrimi-
mates against such woods from the Republic
in favor of those from Australia, New Zea-
land. ETC., our system Of computing duties
making no allowance whatever for the fac
that the dirty and greasy wool Of the
Argentine Republic is fully 70 per cent.
heavier than those OF the former countries.
This excess OF dirt and grease being re-
quired to pay the full tariff rates for wool,
the only woods from the Argentine Republic
which it is now possible to ship under our
tariff are the creola or long carpet woods Of
the Province of Carodona, which are
shipped from Rosario, and which amount
to about one million pounds annually.

Eulor,ztne Senator Stewart

SALT LAKE, December 27.-At a special
meeting OF the Salt Lake Chamber OF Com
merce this evening" the following resolutions
we're adopted:
Resolved, That for introducing into the
Senate OF the United States a measure
which, crystallized into law, would restore
silver to it's rightful and immortal place as
the true measure of values and basis for d
perfect circulating medium, the Hon. VIM.
NJ. Stewart. of Nevada, is entitled to the
sincere thanks OF this Chamber.
Resolved. That while such q law would
be a marked benefit to the silver-producing
States and Territories, we believe it would
also be OF as much greater benefit to the
Eastern States than to the silver-producing
regions as the value Of their productions
exceeds ours, that the law ould add thirty
per cent to the debt-payius capacity OF
every product OF labor.

A Cutting Scrape.

Two young men who started in early to
celebrate Christmas got quarrelsome over
their cups, and had several scrimmages
during the day. By IL O'Clock p. m, they
were very drunk in down town resort,
and very hostile, and the smallest of the
two knocked the larger down, and gave
him a kick, barking his forehead. The
former then went out threatening to get a
gun: then the latter went and bought a
knife at pawnshop, and returning to the
resort, waited for his adversary. The
short one soon turned up and gave another
knockdown. and the long one reached out
with his knife. and stabbed the short one
in the cali of the leg five or six times. The
latter is in bed, and will probably stay
there several weeks, and the other feels
rather sick. The affair will probably come
up in Police Court. but the injured man
says he will not appear against the other

tween the Denver dog, Tige, and Marshal
JolIy's lynx. The lynx was confined in a
wooden cage on platform under the
electric light. After q long wait the dog
was let into the cage, and for a few minutes
there was confused mixture of dog and
cat, but the dog, which weighed about
twice as much as the lynx, finally got it by
the back of the neck and chewed and
squeezed the life out OF it. 1t is a good dog,
and it was glorious spectacle, though not
quite so interesting as was expected by
many in the audience.
